Kristi Hartig

Owner and Event Planner/Coordinator

I inherited my entrepreneurial spirit from my Grandmother, who was a cruise event organizer and pioneer for women’s fitness programs. As a girl riding the elementary school bus, I would write out minute-by-minute “daily plans” with my friend. I graduated with a Marketing degree from the leading Robert H. Smith School of Business, at the University of Maryland. Glow Weddings and Events was founded after I was demoted as a Bridesmaid in a friend’s wedding and instead, coordinated the whole thing.

As the most organized lefty you will ever meet, I am hardwired to be detail-oriented, but also blessed with the creative gene. I have a unique flair, a great sense of style and a love for all things matching and visually beautiful. Past clients consistently praise my rare ability to instill calm, despite being involved in highly emotional and time sensitive situations.

I love spending time with my husband, Tim, and our 2 adorable boys. When I’m not working on weddings, I teach World Champion baton twirlers. Some of my other favorite things are the beach and traveling (I hear Greece calling my name!), Pinterest projects and food (I’m a wannabe foodie). If I wasn’t a wedding planner, I’d be an interior designer.
